Malazan Empire: Bauchelain & Korbal Broach #1 / #2 / #3: Bauchelain and Korbal Broach: Blood Follows / The Lees of Laughter's End / The Healthy Dead
Three novellas of the enigmatic and eccentric necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach.
'Blood Follows': In the port city of Lamentable Moll, a diabolical killer stalks the streets. As Emancipor Reese's legendary ill luck would have it, his employer is the killer's latest victim. But two strangers have come to town, and posted a notice - reeking of death-warded magic - that they seek a manservant.
'The Lees of Laughter's End': Bauchelain, Korbal Broach, and their manservant Emancipor Reese set to sea aboard the Suncurl. Alas, there's more in the baggage hold than the crew knows, and unseemly terrors awaken.
'The Healthy Dead': The city of Quaint's zeal for goodness can be catastrophic, and no one knows this better than our stalwart champions of all things bad. The homicidal necromancers and their substance-addled manservant find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness to utter ruination. Sometimes you must bring down civilization . . . in the name of civilization.

Lamb, Harold
Swords from the Desert
At a time when Westerners still spoke publicly about 'the white man's burden', Lamb, who was regularly consulted by the State Department for his Middle Eastern expertise, crafted these four novellas and three short stories of bold deeds and daring exploits in the Middle East, featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters.
Beset by enemies on every side and torn by internal divisions, the crusader kingdoms were hotbeds of intrigue, where your greatest ally might be your natural enemy. Because lives and kingdoms often rested on the edge of a sword blade, it was a time when a bold heart and a steady hand would see you far - so long as you watched your back. This volume collects for the first time all seventeen of Lamb's stories of the crusader kingdoms, of the fall of kingdoms and the fate of doomed men, of desperate battles and brave comrades, of shrewd maids and scheming nobles.
Ages 12 and up. Welcome to New Avalon, where everyone has a personal fairy, like a specialized good luck charm. But 14-year-old Charlie thinks her Parking Fairy might be worse than having no fairy at all. Tired of being treated like a personal parking pass, Charlie plans to ditch her fairy for a more useful model. But there are consequences for messing with fairies, and she will have to resort to extraordinary measures to set things right again.

McAuley, Paul
The Quiet War
Twenty-third century Earth, ravaged by climate change, is ruled by repressive regimes that look back to the holy ideal of a pre-industrial Eden. Millions of people are imprisoned in teeming cities; millions more labor to rebuild ruined ecosystems. On the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, the Outers, descendants of refugees from Earth, have constructed a wild variety of self-sufficient settlements: scientific utopias crammed with exuberant creations of the genetic arts; the last outposts of every kind of democratic tradition. The rising generation of Outers wants to break free of their pocket paradises, colonize the rest of the Solar System, and drive human evolution in a hundred new directions. On Earth, many demand preemptive action against the Outers; others want to exploit the talents of their scientists and gene wizards. Amid campaigns for peace and reconciliation, political machinations, crude displays of military might, and espionage, the two branches of humanity edge towards war.

Chaos Walking #1: The Knife of Never Letting Go
Ages 15 and up. Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him - something so awful that Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he also hears. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World?
